Thais are suffering from downturn!
If they are, and don't forget it is low season, they deserve it, as they have been destroying their beaches in the name of greed for years.
I for one will have no sympathy.

Those prices are cheaper than 15 years ago. Don't go to Phanghan then, you'll be shocked, Songthaew is THB150 even if going just around the corner.

Chilled white for me, just opened, already welcoming in the weekend.
We've even got the Thai weather here in Europe, it's been 30+ for some weeks now - up to 38 in fact.
Got the sea-substitute in the form of lots of lakes around here.
Just need to get to the garden center to sort out the palm trees lol

I will have a GT, without lime. Those greedy Thais cut down all the forests to plant those little limes.

Lyndy, don't know what made you state; not many folks and downturn? It's full swing high season and all hotels are full capacity booked. Since a couple of weeks actually. Dive trips are mostly fully booked days in advance.
Over to you.
It may be low season on the West coast, the Gulf islands have absolute high season in August.
